Here is a family-owned, Mexican fast food restaurant in a Southwest mountain town that is already packed with a dozen or more Mexican places and a few "Mexican" chains that manages to holds it's own. We have hit this place for a lunch more than a few times and while is isn't a wildly imaginative nuevo-mexican-fusion establishment, we never fail to leave satisfied. It's your basic Americanized Mexican food - yellow cheese and the whole smear, but prepared with some skill and care. They offer some fine combination plates, always one of my favorites, and about as close to a Mexican buffet as Prescott seems to offer. They have an open kitchen, a feature that always pleases the foodie in me, so I can watch the guys cook as I wait for our order and that seems to make me appreciate the food that much more. The hits for me have been the Chorizo Burrito and the Fish Tacos; one for when I have a bearlike hunger, the other for the days when my jeans are a tad too tight! This place is really geared for takeout, as everything is packed to go, and there is a (busy) drive-up window, but they have a dozen or so tables and booths and they are always clean. I really wish the had real flatware; I have come to dislike the cheap, white, disposable forks in particular. Perhaps another down-check is that it is popular with the High School crowd and a few times it has been pretty mobbed. They seemed to be prepared for the traffic and keep churning out food and I don't think the quality suffered at all. How many High School students can you cram into a converted gas station? Quite a few, it appears! One gripe is having to order chips and salsa separate; I have been pretty well trained over the years to expect it at Mexican sit-down places, and I miss it here. read more

Consistently good every single time. The service is fast and friendly, the restaurant is clean, and portions are generous.

This place is the best mex in Prescott! I have tried almost every place sice I moved from California and Taco Don's has no competition. Not to mention the value for your $$. Order the Fajita Burrito (enough for two meals)! read more

This place was jamm packed, and man oh man was it worth it.... the people working here were so curtious and the food was exceptional, little whole in a wall, with more class than some of the bigger and fancier Mexican restaurants here in Prescott.... It's a must stop if your just cruising through or if you live here...yumm, excellent job.....keep up the good work!!!!!! read more

Waited in drive thru for 15 minutes. Ifyou are in a hurry do not come to this reataurant

I moved here 10 years ago, when I first found Taco Dons, I would recommend it to everybody as the best Mexican Food in Prescott. Now, it is a dirty, expensive and FLIES. I was disappointed, * Red Chili Burro, Deep fried.. **Meat was unsavory, red chili tastes burnt. * would always get a small amount of lettuce on my plate, (more like garnish) **I asked for a bit of lettuce, they wanted to charge me $1.00 !! * The worst thing, trying to eat while waving the FLIES away..not just one or two or three..I counted 8..just by our table.. FLIES, FLIES FLIES When we complained, they just smiled and went on to next customer... Your Business is not getting mine anymore. and I will send my friends, elsewhere... read more

Appears to be out of business. Last two times I wanted Mexican, went to Taco Don's, both times within posted open hours, and the place was dark and dead - nobody home. They've either shut-down, or they just close the place randomly when they feel like it - in either case this place can't be counted on if you're seeking Mexican. read more

Tried this place when I first moved here about 6 years ago from Phoenix (Mesa), so I am a little tough to please with mexican food. Ordered an enchilada and got a uncooked corn tortilla loosely wrapped around some meat and covered with red sauce and cheese, all of it was cold. This is literally the worst enchilada I have ever eaten, well, tried to eat. Today Taco Dons got another chance. Ordered lunch with no pico (I am allergic to some stuff in it). When food came, I asked if pico was on it, and was told yes. Requested a new order, without pico, was told I would have to pay for it, (as well as the original order)! I told them I asked for no pico and the girl who took the order said I didn't. Well, I guess it doesn't matter what you order, they will give you whatever they want. NO MORE CHANCES FOR THIS DIVE!! (they are busy serving flies anyway). read more

I waited for 35-minutes for my food in the drive-thru one night. Finally went inside and watched as my order came up...realizing I hadn't actually been forgotten. Food is decent but the staff leaves a lot to be desired...like grasping the English language. read more

Wow. I guess people in Prescott do NOT know good Mexican food. Crispy taco shells were pre made store bought. Nachos were made with liquid cheese. Ground beef had zero seasoning. Kids didn't touch. Go elsewhere read more

Whenever I get to Prescott (I have relatives there) one of my must stops is Taco Don's for the Indian Tacos (known as Navajo Tacos at the Cameron Trading Post). While maybe not as good as the ones we use to get in Cameron (when we lived on the South Rim) they are worth the effort none the less. I love fry bread and can't get it where I now live. Try it for desert with honey and powdered sugar too! read more

Taco Don's - Mexican Near Me - Prescott, Arizona

For what it is, this place is excellent. A tier below some nicer Mexican restaurants. They have a drive through, which is awesome. Basically a way better version of Filibertos. read more

I've always counted on Taco Don's for quick, reasonably priced, delicious Mexican. I love their enchiladas,,,,well I did. Things gave changed and the sauce was just average, the salsa wasn't as tasty as before. Everything was just kinda bland. It makes me sad because I really enjoyed going there read more

Nothing fancy, just really good authentic Mexican food. I love this place. Usually call in my order for pick up.

This is by far my favorite Mexican food in Prescott. Great prices, people and of course food.

The food was fast, good, and delicious. Not a lot of food to chose from but the customer service was excellent and the staff was very friendly. I had the number 2 tacos, enchilada, rice and beans. It was ordinary, fresh, delicious, and greasy. The plate was very hot and the food filled up the whole plate. The waitresses females were very friendly and attractive. I would just go for that instead of the food to be honest. read more

This place is great. It looks like a small fast food joint. The food is great and favorite for the locals. During lunch expect to wait awhile due to their lunch time rush. You can order off menu if you want but make sure their on the same page. read more

I rarely give 5 stars to any restaurant, its well, rare for me to do that. But I felt I had to update my review and affirm it because of recent events. The owner of this business, Jayme Salazar, died in an accident on 4/28/17. While I did not know him personally, he was always greeting me whenever I came into the restaurant with my wife. He even took time to sit with us once and ask how we were doing. I've always loved the food here, best street tacos in town, all the food is great. But it was not just the food, it was the atmosphere here that brings be back. The crew, the food the owner made it a place to feel like home. My deepest sympathy goes out to all that worked and knew Jayme. If you have a chance, stop by see the place he made feel like home to patrons like me and others. Its is one of the best places in town for Mexican food. read more

Quick drive-by food on the go. The fish tacos and pork tamales are tasty. Not a fan of the debit card charge fee but the food kicks butt.

Ok, son wanted Mex breakfast and this place nailed it. Loved seeing 4 locals from Sheriff Dept sitting next to us...know it's good! Good prices and will be back. read more

The food is ok most of the time. The drive through is what really bugs me, you order at the window, pay, then told to drive around the back so the next person can order...ok no problem. How about getting my order to me before the 4-5 others behind me gets theirs....They also have more than one crappy attitude girls in there. Snippy and rude with the personality of a goat working the front of the house is not a good thing. I just can't justify this place any longer. read more

We love Taco Dons! I always get their chicken taquitos because they are the best I have ever had. The inside could use some updating but I don't go somewhere for the decor. Last Time they had a green pork special and that was delicious. Definitely my favorite in Prescott for Mexican food! read more

Taco dons food is amazing but when I go in they get my order wrong everytime. When I bring it up they deny and argue with me and refuse to make it right. Twice they've overcharged me and my friends. We were so done we didn't even bring it up. Great food; poor customer service. read more

Normally no problems...today ordered a vegetarian burrito and a coke. Somehow it totaled $13.00....Not right. Needless to say it was full of meat and nothing that I requested....NO BUENO read more

Fantastic breakfast burritos! That's all I can really speak to, however. I've not tried anything else there. Also, it's a bit of a hole-in-the-wall, and could seriously use a thorough cleaning and update. Doesn't give a good first impression, and I wouldn't have tried them if a friend hadn't insisted they were good. If you're looking for a good, filling breakfast at a good price, give them a shot! read more

Food is great, but service and cleanliness are pretty bad. Sometimes you get a fake smile and always are there flies everywhere. With as much money you know they bring in (always a line at DT and inside), this place desperately needs a remodel. Hope they take care of it soon! read more

I'm loosing my faith in Yelp! I can only assume that the stars from other reviewers are for breakfast because we just finished one of the worse Mexican dinners we've ever had! My wife had the cheese enchiladas and I had one of the combinations plates that included a tamale and chile relleno. We also ordered a side of chips and "salsa". Holy crap, this place is bad! The chips were out of a bag and the "salsa" had the consistency of water. It was like they poured it out of a bottle. The sauces on that they cover the entrees with is not only tasteless, it looks terrible! Mine had some sort of green pea looking sauce poured on top of the relleno and the tamale had some "straight-out-of-the-can" chile con carne that was flavorless. It's rare that I will walk away from Mexican food, but we could only stomach about 25% of this meal when we both put the forks down and said "no mas". I'd rather do Taco Bell! PS -- I didn't even mention the fact that the person who took our order acted like we had ruined her day by walking up to the counter to place our order! So the food is bad, but at least the service sucked also. read more

I've been to Taco Dons twice and the owner knows my name already. He is always so friendly. In addition to the friendly atmosphere, the breakfast burritos are amazing for how much they cost. I brought a couple of flagstaff friends here and they said a breakfast burrito that was like the ones they ate at Taco Dons would be waaaay more expensive in Flagstaff. The green chili and egg breakfast burrito is my favorite so far. I haven't tried anything beyond the breakfast burritos but I eventually will as I will be working in the area full time. read more

Taco Don's is a family favorite of ours and especially around the breakfast burritos. We would often make it a special family treat to go get breakfast burritos on Saturday mornings on a regular basis. The owner is great and knew us by name, as did a ton of the staff. This is a special find in Prescott, DON'T MISS OUT!!! read more

I had to go to Prescott this past Monday (02/29) for business, so I wanted to find a place to have lunch. Taco Don's is right around the corner from the Yavapai County building, so I checked out Yelp and decided to give it a try. I love little hole-in-the-wall family Mexican restaurants and Taco Don's fit the bill. I parked, and walked in. Taco Don's has a row of booths and tables in the front of the building when you first walk in. Keep walking in towards the center of the building and you come to the drink dispensers and the counter to place your order. Being a first timer, I went with what I enjoy the most. a red chile burro enchilada style w/ rice and beans (a #8 combo plate) for $8.99 including a drink. I also added a side of chips and hot sauce for $.90. The gentleman behind the counter handed me a cup, and I got my drink (Iced tea, and it was fresh!). I went and sat down in a booth with my magazine, and waited. I barely sat down and the chips and hot sauce arrived. The chips were your average variety, nothing special, not great, not bad. The hot sauce was very thin and didn't have a lot of flavor, but it did have a nice heat burn. About 5 minutes later, my meal showed up. It was nicely presented on an oval plate. The burro was good sized and had the requisite red chile sauce and cheese on the top. The beans and rice looked good. First thing I tried was the burro. The red chile sauce was a little thin for my taste, but it had a nice flavor. The beef inside the burro was in small cubes and looked/tasted like round steak; it was very good and unbelievably tender. I think the tortilla was harder to chew than the beef (not a knock on the tortilla, it was fine; it's just that the beef was that tender). The rice and beans were good also, nothing special, but they both had a good taste and I enjoyed them. I was a little confused about the service. The gent working the counter brought out my chips and my combo plate, but I had to go up and get silverware napkins (opposite of the drink dispensers). I wasn't sure whether or not to leave a tip; but I did, since he brought me my food. Taco Don's is not fancy, but it was neat and clean. The staff was friendly and welcoming. I know a couple of Yelpers commented on the rudeness of the staff, but I didn't see any of that and my interactions were pleasant. As a matter of fact, 1 or 2 of the guys working in back were having a great time singing with the music and sounded very happy. I wish Yelp had 1/2 star ratings, because Taco Don's earned a solid 3 1/2 stars. The place was clean, the staff pleasant, and the food was good. I will be back. read more

Best Aithentic Mexican Food in the tri city area. Staff is always nice. And food is always great.

Great food! This place has been around for a long time with cheap prices and fast servies. The employees arnt always vary nice, but with the prices and the quality of the food it is way worth it. I would suggest the carne asada burrito wet. read more

Probably the closest you'll get to good Mexican food in Prescott. I had the special, jalapeño cream enchiladas- and they were surprisingly good! read more

We were pleased to see tamales on the menu. The first taste of the tamale was a morsel of masa that was lying on the plate. It was great. Sadly, the tamale itself was very, very ordinary. The sauce was almost tasteless. The fish taco and carne asada taco were super boring, and came in two soft taco shells soggy with grease. We could only eat one with each taco. The other two were too greasy for the dog, even. The beans were similarly flavorless, and the salsa helped only a little. The salsa was parceled out in very small containers, and had to be requested each time. Nothing was bad, but we have no reason to return. read more

Best Mexican food in Prescott. I've been going here for many years and still my favorite. All items are great, my fav is shredded beef red chili burro plain or enchilada Style read more

Best shredded beef taco of my entire life!!! No lie folks they are perfect. Crispy light corn shell crisp lettuce and some cheddar on top of perfectly seasoned beef. The only reason I held back a star is that when you get them to go they have a habit of cracking.... No less delicious but do yourself a favor and have a sit in meal. As I was leaving the taco man in the window said to me " next time get them deep fried! They are amazing" I can't imagine them better but I can't wait to see for myself. read more

Great food, but what makes us keep coming back is the owner and staff. Don't know how he always remembers our names! We feel at home here. The world needs more bosses like him. read more

You know I hadn't been to taco don's in years but I guess it changed ownership a couple years ago. I went yesterday for chimichanga service was great price is very convenient and it was delicious! read more

This place is always busy. Food is good, just have to wait awhile to get it. People are friendly. Seating is extremely tight.

They're pretty good. Lots of food for sure! My complaint is they didn't give me the right change back.
